Import Tips
• Verify fabric weight ≤200 g/m² via lab testing and confirm printed sateen weave per Chapter 52 notes to avoid misclassification
• Obtain mill test certificate for yarn number and construction; declare exact weight after removing sizing
• Watch for quota restrictions on cotton imports; common pitfall is failing to specify 'printed' status
